He didn't want to risk losing a chance for the FG at that point. Went conservative. Not surprised about that at all. He had a chance to take the lead... and they did. I hate Shur's play calling, but I don't feel horrible about that call. And the fact that it makes me prophetic about the 15-14 score doesn't taint my perspective at all either.

Shurmur and Chilly make it pretty tough on a rookie QB. He threw a number of bad balls, but how terrible can a QB be that at least gets his offense in in FG position 5 times? Think you guys are placing a little bit too much blame on his shoulders.
